I-Robot 9 Frame analysis


The light calm blue colour is turning red which implies evil. 

In the background we can see mechanical structures which introduces the theme of science. We can also learn that the robots will represent danger as the text is a bold and cold white colour against a red light in darkness which implies danger. 

The introduction of the laws gives us an introduction of what robots were creatted for. The background is bluey black colour representing their emotionless and cold nature.  

Each of these laws bubble away so we can learn not only that these laws are fading away or will be broken, but also that the story will begin under water

From this image we can learn that someone is drowning as the inside of the car is dark and you can see the water ouside. However there seems to be an element of hope as you can see a figure climbing over the car quickly- however this could also represent threat as we can not see their face. 

The camera turns to an image of a child drowning so we can learn that the images are being seen through the eyes of another victim. This image of the struggling child also introduces the panic. 

We get a quick glimpse of the protagonist struggling in an attempt to save the child, which introduces  the character as  although helpless, he is determined, courageous and self-less.  

The quick and heavy handed actions of the robot teaches us that the robot is not saving the victim because he wanted to, but because he had to. 

In this shot the image is brighter and calmer as the character seems to be laying on a pillow in a quite room as appose to him drowning so we can learn that it was memory. The character is looking around with his shadow looking over him as if it haunts him.
